Chorus: Leon Thomas, Leon Thomas & Halle
I’d rather be alone, rather be alone
Than in a broken home
I’d rather be alone
Tryin’ to do this for the both of us on my own
Post-Chorus: Leon Thomas & Halle
Oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Refrain: Leon Thomas
Watchin’ it all, catchin’ your fall
Alluding every lesson, losin’ all direction
Details matter, I pay attention, oh
Verse 1: Leon Thomas
Takin’ all your money, eatin’ all your dough
Always leave me wantin’ more
‘Cause you’re unpredictable, and I’m used to having control
Risk is acquired, I pay the toll
Just numb the pain, touchin’ on some Ms
Make your own bread like the good father said
Watch your homies, release all your stress
My heart’s bulletproof, I’m wearing a vest
Chorus: Leon Thomas, Halle & Both
I’d rather be alone, rather be alone (Oh)
Than in a broken home
I’d rather be alone (Oh, be alone; ah)
Rather be alone
Tryin’ to do this for the both of us on my own
Post-Chorus: Leon Thomas & Halle, Halle, Leon Thomas
Oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh (Alone)
Oh-oh-oh, oh (Oh, yeah; ah)
Oh
Verse 2: Halle
I take my time losin’ my mind
I’m thinkin’ of you all of the time (Time, time)
‘Cause without you I’m crazy
You’re dangerous, my baby, we’re broken, but beautiful
So don’t you give up, up on me, baby
Wrap your arms tight around me and remember
Without you I’m afraid, ooh
Chorus: Halle, Leon Thomas & Both
But you’d rather be alone, you’d rather be alone
Than in a broken home (Oh)
You’d rather be alone (Ah)
Tryin’ to do this for the both of us on my own
Post-Chorus: Leon Thomas & Halle, Halle
Oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Ah
Outro: Leon Thomas & Halle
Watchin’ it all, catchin’ your fall (I’d rather be alone)
Alluding every lesson, losin’ all direction
Details matter I pay attention, oh
